5 things every Tennessee fan needs to know today

Tennessee could use a bye week to heal up. North Texas should suffice.

The Vols (5-4, 3-3 SEC) shouldn’t have to sweat the details this week as they prepare for the Mean Green on Saturday. North Texas is 1-8 and should be one of the worst teams to come to Neyland Stadium in recent memory. Tennessee is a huge favorite. If things go according to plan, this should be a good week to rest starters and prepare for the final two games of the season.

Recruiting will certainly be a key moving forward as the Vols look to fill out their 2016 class.
